The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has unveiled a new centralised website, targeted at helping the UK鈥檚 5.5 million businesses.
The new 鈥楬elp to Grow鈥� site from DBT is aimed at upskilling both big and small businesses across the country by helping them to:
- Learn new skills
- Reach more customers
- Boost business profits
Businesses have told us that they need easy to find information from the Government, which is why this centralised page will make it simpler for firms to find, access and use the information and support they need in one central space. This site also brings together the wealth of expertise that the newly formed department has to offer.
DBT and the UK Government is committed to growing the economy, as the Prime Minister outlined in his priorities for 2023, which is why this new website will be a pivotal tool to help firms reach their business ambitions, whether that鈥檚 learning new digital skills, learning to export globally and courses in effective management.
鈥楬elp to Grow,鈥� which is now live for use, is targeted at helping firms especially the UK鈥檚 5.4 million small businesses that drive the economy and is a unique proposition stemming from the newly-created department, taking businesses from start-ups, to scaling-up and then exporting their goods and services across the globe. The website will offer support and guidance every step of the way, helping to unlock global markets for British businesses.
Business and Trade Minister Kevin Hollinrake MP said:
鈥淲hen businesses are given the right tools to grow, it boosts profits, increases well-paid jobs and lifts the whole UK economy. This Government is committed to supporting small businesses and the self-employed who are at the heart of our communities.
鈥淪o, I am pleased to launch the 鈥楬elp to Grow鈥� website today, which will hopefully become a vital tool in helping businesses to thrive and succeed both in the UK and trading across the world.鈥�
The centralised site will enable more businesses to reach their trading ambitions, by boosting exports in our race to 拢1 trillion a year, increasing inward investment and removing business trade barriers.
The 鈥楬elp to Grow鈥� website will offer advice, guidance, services and support from the UK Government 鈥� bringing together a range of support and help that already exists across Government websites.
DBT will be continuously updating and improving 鈥楬elp to Grow鈥� by working across Government as well as listening to the business community and their feedback.
